I literally drove by this school today on the way to visit my Mom for mother's day weekend. This place is in the middle of farking nowhere. I can't imagine that any remotely intelligent students actually go there. The place has "everybody's pregnant, in the military, or in jail by the time they're 19" written all over it.

My older sisters class, which graduated something like 400 students, each handed the principle a marble, as they collected their diploma. By the end of the ceremony, he, the assistant principal, and the school superintendent all had all their pockets overflowing with marbles. While it's not the funniest prank in the world, they were unable to punish anyone, since everyone participated.

Yep. At a party in my college apartment, I put a bunch of live goldfish in one of the toilet bowls. I figured people would think it was just sort of weird and cool, and then they would go use the other bathroom. Pretty early on, I went in and noticed the fish were gone. Never found out whether someone flushed them on purpose or unwittingly. Nowadays, I feel pretty bad about the whole thing.

Some of my friends picked all the padlocks at our school and replaced them with padlocks from another school. At the time it seemed funny but would have been a better prank if they had somehow made it clear that that was what happened. As it was both schools just cut all the locks off and replaced them. Big waste of money and time.

THIS is what you call an awesome prank.

I'll 2nd that. It actually required more creativity and imagination than just destroying something.

All we did was borrow a cow and put it inside a courtyard inside the school. Boring, but pretty harmless.

The trees in the picture looked like Bradford Pears, maybe 8-10 inches in diameter. They grow pretty fast but that's still probably a 12-15 year old tree. If the rest of the trees were of similar size, then this is easily $5k to $10k worth of vandalism.

Some students at the high school yesterday thought cutting the trees was hilarious.

Yep. Pure comedy gold. Once the vandals are caught and charged, I wonder if they'll find the potential sentences equally hilarious.

Hell, the authorities should check Facebook and/or youtube. These kids were probably dumb enough to post incriminating pictures or video of the incident.

Ha. I spent senior skip day watching the star wars trilogy using a video projector and the speakers we used for the school dances. Our senior physics teacher approved it and played it in his room. There were so many seniors gone there was no real reason to have classes that day. No detention, unlike those who skipped

/class of '93//the trilogy just came out on VHS not that long before we played it

We sent out letters on school stationery saying that condoms and lube would be provided at prom because of the "near certainty" that all students would be engaging in inappropriate sexual activity. It's a classic.

High schools should include an essay in the student handbook on why some pranks are unacceptable, with examples, explanations, and which would likely result in their pressing criminal charges. Though I'd list the goldfish one as unacceptable as well; anything reasonably likely to harm an animal more complex than insects is a bad idea, and even insects aren't a great idea. As a really general rule of thumb, things that can't be undone, like chopping down trees, are a bad idea.

This article was way too familiar for me. The courtyard at my high school had a bunch of cherry trees that were really nice to sit under in the spring. Naturally, my senior year, a few ass clowns thought it would be hilarious to climb into the courtyard overnight and hack them all down - because it's such a hilarious prank. I never heard who it was that did it, but I know that the vast majority of the 1,800 student body were PISSED.

Not a senior prank, but in high school I tied some black thread onto an empty mini-pizza box on one end, and on other other end tied it to some student's backpack laying on the grass. When the bell rang, this kid was walking with his friends to class with a pizza box following behind.

Not really a prank, but the only thing I did in high school was after getting our x-country team into the states for the first time and getting a small trophy case display, we put seemingly innocuous objects in it. Those letters from the signs, a small traffic cone, things like that. What the coordinator didn't know is that every single thing in that case other than the picture of the team was stolen from all the opposing schools throughout the year.
